Hello i have been trying all day to get emails to work and I am totally lost.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE could some one help me.

I have set up a domain which is my own name rickyspires.co.uk and i would like to have an email address for that domain like mail@ or info@.

I have set up the domain and that all works.
My droplet is called spangler1 and my login name has changed from root to rickyspires.

This is what i have tried.

I have followed this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdio_MMNqUE

• First login to the server
  rickyspires@spangler1:

• install postfix
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install postfix

• config the main.cf file
  cd /etc/postfix/
  sudo nano main.cf

myhostname = rickyspires.co.uk
virtualaliasmaps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
aliasdatabase = hash:/etc/aliases
mydestination = rickyspires.co.uk, spangler1, ricky-spiress-MacBook-Pro.local, localhost
relayhost =
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 10.0.0.0/8
mailboxsizelimit = 0
recipientdelimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all

sudo service postfix restart

• try sending a test email

rickyspires@spangler1:/etc/postfix$ telnet 127.0.0.1 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 rickyspires.co.uk ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)

mail to: spangler1@rickyspires.co.uk

501 5.5.4 Syntax: MAIL FROM:<address>

mail from: rickyspires@rickyspires.co.uk (root@rickyspires.co.uk)
250 2.1.0 Ok

rcpt to: spangler1@rickyspires.co.uk
550 5.1.1 spangler1@rickyspires.co.uk: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table

!!!!! I GET AN ERROR HERE - the error wasnt there before ? But even when i didnt get the error at this point the emails would not send.

I get this..... for example
